Vacation Dreaming

We came back from Greece and decided to keep living like we were on vacation! First up, long coffee mornings at our favorite coffee place in Kyiv- Raven Cafe. 

Homemade frappes, almost like being on a beach in Greece….

Clinging to summer attire

We decided to go on day trips to explore parts of Ukraine we hadn’t seen before. 

Day trips to the pool club 

We tested all the noodle soup in Kyiv, pretending we were in Vietnam. 

Then we decided we were still in vacation withdrawal and wanted to go away for the  longweekend so we packed up the car and headed to Odessa down south in Ukraine. It is usually a 5 hour drive buuuuuuuut we hit traffic and it ended up taking us 9. We were so excited and hungry when we finally arrived. 

We headed right out for dinner and found a yummy outside restaurant with pasta. 

Then we headed out for a walk to explore Odessa at sunset. So many pretty places to see.  

We found some spray paint street art that the kids were super into and we had to get some.  

Happy customers. 

We headed back afterwards and had some relaxing time. 

I snuck in a long run around Odessa the next morning and found some fun Abe Lincoln art. 

Then it was the Ali’s favorite part of vacation, hotel breakfast!

Followed by a beach trip. 

After a day in the sun we dressed up and headed to dinner outside of the philharmonic theater. 

The next morning we headed back to breakfast before we headed home, ready for our next vacation.
